ADCC 2022 is the equivalent of jiu jitsu Olympics – with the event having been postponed for a year due to the pandemic. In addition to the geopolitical situation, jiujitsu fans are also very curious about Gordon Ryan’s much anticipated clash with arch nemesis Andre Galvao in the fall out from their own slapping incident.
Besides Galvao, Ryan is also expected to grapple Felipe Pena – the only grappler to have beat him in the recent years.
Rogan and Gordon have a pretty good relationship with Rogan having helped Gordon to get a handle on his stomach issues that have kept him from competing professionally during long breaks. Rogan is a BJJ blackbelt under Eddie Bravo and is a very big fan of the sport in fact some might say he’s the biggest positive influence in the sport today.
